The present invention concerns tricyclic oxazolidinone antibiotic compounds, a pharmaceutical antibacterial composition containing them and the use of these compounds in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of infections (e.g. bacterial infections). These compounds are useful antimicrobial agents effective against a variety of human and veterinary pathogens including among others Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and mycobacteria.

The intensive use of antibiotics has exerted a selective evolutionary pressure on microorganisms to produce genetically based resistance mechanisms. Modern medicine and socio-economic behaviour exacerbate the problem of resistance development by creating slow growth situations for pathogenic microbes, e.g. in artificial joints, and by supporting long-term host reservoirs, e.g. in immuno-compromised patients.

In hospital settings, an increasing number of strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, major sources of infections, are becoming multi-drug resistant and therefore difficult if not impossible to treat:

-   -   S. aureus is resistant to B-lactams, quinolones and now even to         vancomycin;     -   S. pneumoniae is becoming resistant to penicillin or quinolone         antibiotics and even to new macrolides;     -   Enteroccocci are quinolone and vancomycin resistant and B-lactam         antibiotics are inefficacious against these strains;     -   Enterobacteriaceae are cephalosporin and quinolone resistant;     -   P. aeruginosa are β-lactam and quinolone resistant.

Furthermore, the incidence of multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative strains such as Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is steadily increasing and new emerging organisms like Acinetobacter spp. or Clostridium difficile, which have been selected during therapy with the currently used antibiotics, are becoming a real problem in hospital settings. Therefore, there is a high medical need for new antibacterial agents which overcome multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli such as A. baumannii, ESBL-producing E. coli and Klebsiella species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Clinical Infectious Diseases (2006), 42, 657-68).

In addition, microorganisms that are causing persistent infections are increasingly being recognized as causative agents or cofactors of severe chronic diseases like peptic ulcers or heart diseases.

Azatricyclic antibiotic compounds have already been described in WO 2007/071936 and WO 2007/122258 (disclosing 3-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-2a,6-diaza-acenaphthyl ene-1-methyl derivatives), WO 2007/081597 (disclosing 4-oxo-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-1-methyl derivatives), WO 2007/115947 (disclosing 3-oxo-5,6-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[1,2,3-de]quinoxaline-6-methyl derivatives) and WO 2008/003690 (disclosing notably 1-(7-oxo-5,6,9a,9b-tetrahydro-4H,7H-1,6a-diaza-phenalen-5-yl)-piperidine-4-yl and 1-(5-oxo-2,3,7a, 10b-tetrahydro-1H,5H-pyrido quinolin-2-yl)-piperidine-4-yl derivatives). More recently, further azatricyclic antibiotics have been described in WO 2008/120003, WO 2008/128942, WO 2008/128953, WO 2008/128962, WO 2009/000745 and WO 2009/087153 (all filed before, but published after the earliest priority date(s) of the present application).

Quinoline, naphthyridine or quinoxaline spirooxazolidinone antibiotic compounds have already been described in WO 2008/026172. More recently, other antibiotic compounds comprising an oxazolidinone motif have been disclosed in WO 2008/126024, WO 2008/126034, WO 2009/077989 and WO 2009/104159 (all filed before, but published after the earliest priority date(s) of the present application).

Moreover, azatricyclic antibiotics comprising an oxazolidinone motif have been described in WO 2009/104147 (the priority or filing dates of which are earlier than some of or all those of the present application, while the publication took place after the priority dates of the present application).

The Applicants have now found a new family of tricyclic antibiotic compounds corresponding to the formula I described hereafter.

-   -   A represents the radical —CH₂CH₂CH(OH)—, this means specifically         that the CH₂ part of said radical is attached to the         neighbouring nitrogen while the CH(OH) part of said radical is         attached to the oxazolidinone ring.     -   This is applicable mutatis mutandis to all radicals that make A         radicals (e.g. to the radicals A′ mentioned in the preparation         methods). As a further example, in the substructure A, if it is         stated that A represents —COCH₂CH(OH)—, it is thereby meant that         the CO group of said radical is attached to the neighbouring         nitrogen while the CH(OH) part of said radical is attached to         the oxazolidinone ring. In other words, the left part of a         radical is always attached to the right part of the radical that         is next to the left.

In this text, a bond interrupted by a wavy line shows a point of attachment of the radical drawn to the rest of the molecule. For example, the radical drawn below

is the 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-6-yl group.

The compounds of formula I according to this invention may contain one or more stereogenic or asymmetric centers, such as one or more asymmetric carbon atoms. The compounds of formula I may thus be present as mixtures of stereoisomers or, preferably, as pure stereoisomers. Mixtures of stereoisomers may be separated in a manner known to a person skilled in the art.

Whenever the absolute stereochemistry indication “(R)” or “(S)” is omitted in the name of a compound although there is a corresponding asymmetric carbon atom, it is meant thereby that this compound name refers to either the (R)-configured compound or the (S)-configured compound.

The relative configuration of stereoisomers having two asymmetric centers is indicated in this text by using the wording (R*,R*) to refer to either the (R,R)-configured stereomer or the (S,S)-configured stereomer and the wording (R*,S*) to refer to either the (R,S)-configured stereomer or the (S,R)-configured stereomer. Thus, for example, (1R*,2R*)-4-oxo-1-{3-[(R)-2-oxo-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-6-yl)-oxazolidin-5-yl]-propylamino}-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester refers to either (1R,2R)-4-oxo-1-{3-[(R)-2-oxo-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-6-yl)-oxazolidin-5-yl]-propylamino}-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester or (1S,2S)-4-oxo-1-{3-[(R)-2-oxo-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-6-yl)-oxazolidin-5-yl]-propylamino}-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester.

The present invention also includes isotopically labelled, especially ²H (deuterium) labelled compounds of formula I, which compounds are identical to the compounds of formula I except that one or more atoms have each been replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Isotopically labelled, especially ²H (deuterium) labelled compounds of formula I and salts thereof are within the scope of the present invention. Substitution of hydrogen with the heavier isotope ²H (deuterium) may lead to greater metabolic stability, resulting e.g. in increased in-vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, or may lead to reduced inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes, resulting e.g. in an improved safety profile. In one variant of the invention, the compounds of formula I are not isotopically labelled, or they are labelled only with one or more deuterium atoms. In a sub-variant, the compounds of formula I are not isotopically labelled at all. Isotopically labelled compounds of formula I may be prepared in analogy to the methods described hereinafter, but using the appropriate isotopic variation of suitable reagents or starting materials.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to non-toxic, inorganic or organic acid and/or base addition salts. Reference can be made to “Salt selection for basic drugs”, Int. J. Pharm. (1986), 33, 201-217.

Besides, the term “room temperature” as used herein refers to a temperature of 25° C.

Unless used regarding temperatures, the term “about” placed before a numerical value “X” refers in the current application to an interval extending from X minus 10% of X to X plus 10% of X, and preferably to an interval extending from X minus 5% of X to X plus 5% of X. In the particular case of temperatures, the term “about” placed before a temperature “Y” refers in the current application to an interval extending from the temperature Y minus 10° C. to Y plus 10° C., and preferably to an interval extending from Y minus 5° C. to Y plus 5° C.

The compounds of formula I according to the present invention are further useful for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of infections that are mediated by bacteria such as E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and other Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter spp. including Acinetobacter baumanii, Stenothrophomonas maltophilia, Neisseria meningitidis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium difficile, Corynebacterium spp., Propionibacterium acnes and bacteroide spp.

The compounds of formula I according to the present invention are further useful to treat protozoal infections caused by Plasmodium malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, Toxoplasma gondii, Pneumocystis carinii, Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania spp.

The present list of pathogens is to be interpreted merely as examples and in no way as limiting.

The compounds of formula I according to this invention, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be used for the preparation of a medicament, and are suitable, for the prevention or treatment (and notably for the treatment) of a bacterial infection.

One aspect of this invention therefore relates to the use of a compound of formula I according to one of embodiments i) to xcv), or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention or treatment (and notably for the treatment) of a bacterial infection. Another aspect of this invention relates to a compound of formula I according to one of embodiments i) to xcv), or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the prevention or treatment (and notably for the treatment) of a bacterial infection.

Accordingly, the compounds of formula I according to one of embodiments i) to xcv), or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may be used for the preparation of a medicament, and are suitable, for the prevention or treatment (and notably for the treatment) of a bacterial infection selected from the group consisting of respiratory tract infections, otitis media, meningitis, skin and soft tissue infections (whether complicated or uncomplicated), pneumonia (including hospital acquired pneumonia), bacteremia, endocarditis, intraabdominal infections, gastrointestinal infections, Clostridium difficile infections, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, foreign body infections, osteomyelitis, lyme disease, topical infections, opthalmological infections, tuberculosis and tropical diseases (e.g. malaria), and notably for the prevention or treatment (especially for the treatment) of a bacterial infection selected from the group consisting of respiratory tract infections, otitis media, meningitis, skin and soft tissue infections (whether complicated or uncomplicated), pneumonia (including hospital acquired pneumonia) and bacteremia.

As well as in humans, bacterial infections can also be treated using compounds of formula I (or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) in other species like pigs, ruminants, horses, dogs, cats and poultry.

The present invention also relates to pharmacologically acceptable salts and to compositions and formulations of compounds of formula I.

Any reference to a compound of formula I is to be understood as referring also to the salts (and especially the pharmaceutically acceptable salts) of such compounds, as appropriate and expedient.

A pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention contains at least one compound of formula I (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) as the active agent and optionally carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants, and may also contain additional known antibiotics.

The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used as medicaments, e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical compositions for enteral or parenteral administration.

Further details can be found in Comprehensive Organic Transformations. A guide to Functional Group Preparations; 2^(nd) Edition, R. C. Larock, Wiley-VC; New York, Chichester, Weinheim, Brisbane, Singapore, Toronto, (1999). Section Amines p. 779.

General Reaction Technique 2 (Reductive Amination):

A solution of amine (1 mmol) and aldehyde or ketone (1 mmol) in DCE/MeOH 1:1 (10 mL) is stirred at rt overnight possibly in presence of a desiccant such as MgSO₄ or 3 Å molecular sieves. NaBH₄ (2-5 eq.) is added and the reaction allowed to proceed for one hour. The reaction is diluted with DCM and aq. NH₄OH. The org. phase is washed with water, dried over MgSO₄ and concentrated. Alternatively, a solution of amine (1 mmol) and aldehyde or ketone (1 mmol) in DCE/MeOH 1:1 (10 mL) is treated with NaBH(OAc)₃ (2 eq.). The mixture is stirred at rt until complete conversion. The reaction is diluted with DCM and aq. NH₄OH. The org. phase is washed with water, dried over MgSO₄ and concentrated.

General Reaction Technique 3 (Activation of an Alcohol):

The alcohol is reacted with MSCl, TfCl, NfCl, NsCl, BsCl or TsCl in presence of an organic base such as TEA, DIPEA or Pyr in a dry aprotic solvent such as DCM, THF or Pyr between −10° C. and rt. Alternatively, the alcohol can also be reacted with Ms₂O or Tf₂O. The activated intermediate can be further transformed into its corresponding iodo or bromo derivative by reaction of the activated alcohol with NaI or NaBr in a solvent such as acetone.

General Reaction Technique 4 (Removal of Amino Protecting Groups):

The benzyl carbamates are deprotected by hydrogenolysis over a noble metal catalyst (e.g. Pd/C or Pd(OH)₂/C). The Boc group is removed under acidic conditions such as HCl in an organic solvent such as MeOH or dioxane, or TFA neat or diluted in a solvent such DCM. Further general methods to remove amine protecting groups have been described in T. W. Greene, P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3^(rd) Ed (1999), 494-653 (Publisher: John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, N.Y.).

General Reaction Technique 5 (Ester, Ketone or Aldehyde Reduction):

The ester is reduced with a boron or aluminium hydride reducing agent such as LiBH₄ or LAH in a solvent such as THF between −20° C. and 40° C. Alternatively, the ester function is hydrolyzed into its corresponding acid using an alkali hydroxide such as NaOH, KOH or LiOH in water or in a mixture of water with polar protic or aprotic organic solvent such as THF or MeOH between −10° C. and 50° C. The resulting carboxylic acid is further reduced into the corresponding alcohol using a borane derivative such as a BH₃.THF complex in a solvent such as THF between −10° C. and 40° C.

The aldehyde and the ketone are reduced with a boron or aluminium hydride reducing agent such as NaBH₄, LiBH₄ or LAH in a solvent such as THF between −20° C. and 40° C. Further details can be found in Comprehensive Organic Transformations. A guide to Functional Group Preparations; 2nd Edition, R. C. Larock, Wiley-VC; New York, Chichester, Weinheim, Brisbane, Singapore, Toronto, (1999). Section Alcohols and phenols, p. 1057-1087.

General Reaction Technique 6 (Cis-Dihydroxylation):

The diol is obtained by dihydroxylation of the corresponding ethylenic derivative using a catalytic amount of potassium osmate in the presence a co-oxidant such as NMO in an aq. solvent such as an acetone-water or DCM-water mixture (see Cha, J. K., Chem. Rev. (1995), 95, 1761-1795). The chiral cis-diols are obtained by using AD-mix α or AD-mix β in presence of methanesulfonamide in a water/2-methyl-2 propanol mixture as described in Chem. Rev. (1994), 94, 2483. The sense of induction relies on the chiral ligand contained in the AD mixture, either a dihydroquinine-based ligand in AD-mix α or a dihydroquinidine-based ligand in AD-mix β.

General Reaction Technique 7 (Protection of Alcohols):

The alcohols are protected as silyl ethers (usually TBDMS or TBDPS ethers). The alcohol is reacted with the required silyl chloride reagent (TBDMSCl or TBDPSCl) in presence of a base such as imidazole or TEA in a solvent such as DCM or DMF between +10° C. and +40° C. Further strategies to introduce other alcohol protecting groups have been described in T. W. Greene, P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Ed (1999), 23-147 (Publisher: John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, N.Y.).

General Reaction Technique 8 (Removal of Hydroxy Protecting Groups):

The silyl ether groups are removed either using fluoride anion sources such as TBAF in THF between 0° C. and +40° C. or HF in MeCN between 0° C. and +40° C. or using acidic conditions such as AcOH in THF/MeOH or HCl in MeOH. Further methods to remove the TBDMS and TBDPS groups are given in T. W. Greene, P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3^(rd) Ed (1999), 133-139 and 142-143 respectively (Publisher: John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, N.Y.). Further general methods to remove alcohol protecting groups are described in T. W. Greene, P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3^(rd) Ed (1999), 23-147 (Publisher: John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, N.Y.). In the particular case of alkylcarboxy protecting group, the free alcohol can be obtained by the action of an inorganic base such as K₂CO₃ in a solvent such as MeOH.

General Reaction Technique 9 (Formation of Aldehydes):

The alcohols can be transformed into their corresponding aldehydes through oxidation under Swern (see D. Swern et al., J. Org. Chem. (1978), 43, 2480-2482) or Dess Martin (see D. B. Dess and J. C. Martin, J. Org. Chem. (1983), 48, 4155) conditions respectively. Alternatively, the esters can be transformed into their corresponding aldehydes by controlled reduction with a bulky hydride reagent such as DIBAH.

General Reaction Technique 10 (Amine Protection):

Amines are usually protected as carbamates such as Alloc, Cbz, Boc or Fmoc. They are obtained by reacting the amine with allyl or benzyl chloroformate, di tert-butyl dicarbonate or FmocCl in presence of a base such as NaOH, TEA, DMAP or imidazole. They can also be protected as N-benzyl derivatives by reaction with benzyl bromide or chloride in presence of a base such as Na₂CO₃ or TEA. Alternatively, N-benzyl derivatives can be obtained through reductive amination in presence of benzaldehyde and a borohydride reagent such as NaBH₄, NaBH₃CN or NaBH(OAc)₃ in a solvent such as MeOH, DCE or THF. Further strategies to introduce other amine protecting groups have been described in T. W. Greene, P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Ed (1999), 494-653 (Publisher: John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, N.Y.).

General Reaction Technique 11 (Hydrogenation of a Double Bond):

The unsaturated derivatives dissolved in a solvent such as MeOH, EA or THF are hydrogenated over a noble metal catalyst such as Pd/C or PtO₂, or over Raney Ni. At the end of the reaction the catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated under reduced pressure. Alternatively the reduction can be performed by catalytic transfer hydrogenation using Pd/C and ammonium formate as hydrogen source.

General Reaction Technique 12 (Reduction of Azides into Amines):

The azides are hydrogenated over a noble metal catalyst such as Pd/C in solvent such as MeOH or EA. In case the molecule is containing an unsaturated double or triple bond, the reduction can be performed using PPh₃ in presence of water as described in J. Med. Chem. (1993), 36, 2558-68.

General Reaction Technique 13 (Amide Formation):

The carboxylic acid is reacted with the amine in presence of an activating agent such as DCC, EDC, HOBT, n-propylphosphonic cyclic anhydride, HATU or di-(N-succinimidyl)-carbonate, in a dry aprotic solvent such as DCM, MeCN or DMF between −20° C. and +60° C. (see G. Benz in Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, B. M. Trost, I. Fleming, Eds; Pergamon Press: New York (1991), vol. 6, p. 381). Alternatively, the carboxylic acid can be activated by conversion into its corresponding acid chloride by reaction with oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride neat or in a solvent like DCM between 20° and +60° C. Further activating agents can be found in Comprehensive Organic Transformations. A guide to Functional Group Preparations; 2nd Edition, R. C. Larock, Wiley-VC; New York, Chichester, Weinheim, Brisbane, Singapore, Toronto, 1999. Section nitriles, carboxylic acids and derivatives p. 1941-1949.

Larock, Wiley-VC; New York, Chichester, Weinheim, Brisbane, Singapore, Toronto, 1999. Section nitriles, carboxylic acids and derivatives, p. 1653-1655. Among them, potassium permanganate in an acetone-water mixture (see Synthesis 1987, 85) or sodium chlorite in 2-methyl-2-propanol in presence of 2-methyl-2-butene (see Tetrahedron 1981, 37, 2091-2096) are frequently used.
